"Why European women are turning to Islam"

And why Western men are increasingly looking to places like the Phillipines for women who haven't yet had their identities and values sucked out of them by a cynical, materialistic culture.

Because Euro men are not men, and because they are complete idiots.

Maybe she thought she did and that the "moral uncertainity" left her with unanswered questions.

With so many Christian churches now seemingly condoning homosexuality, is it any wonder that some will depart to Islam?

I wonder if she has yet to discover FGM?

They're tired of feminism, and they're looking for something simpler.

Fat men are rejected by the mainstream American culture as well. In fact, I don't know a single woman, including myself, who have or would ever date one.

If your theory were complete and correct, except for the loose clothing (most muslim men wear normal western clothing), then fat white males in Sacramento should also be converting to the Muslim religion.

Just telling it like it is......

Many aren't even getting their children to age to teach them anything, since they are aborting them.

Europe as a whole - sans post-communist countries - is on it's deathbed, and they don't even realize it. And the few that do, they are advocating the "eat me last, Mr. Alligator" by selling out their lives/souls/children.

I have never seen a white male muslim convert, fat or thin.

There are many of them where you live?

Ever see Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman?

Johnny Walker Lindh?

White Muslim converts, both.

Hmmm. Let's try a gedanken experiment...

Nah, that wouldn't be seen as shallow. Heck. I'd vilify myself over that one.

"The phenomenon is booming, and it worries us,"

Booming?

An interesting description for the religion of pieces.

Islam eh?

In that picture she has committed a crime against Allah by showing her head and face to men who are not of her family. She needs a good stoning...</ sar>

Her left-wing, limousine liberal yenta political rantings are horrible, but Babs from Brooklyn can sing the roof off.

If you were a fair critic, your should also have responded as well to the comment made by GAIJIN.

HMMMMMM.....I wonder why you didn't.

You said for my theory to hold, what is true of obese women must be true for obese men.

But men and women are different. There is much that is true for women that is not true for men.

The sexes have different needs for approval from society, for example. That women are by nature more thoroughly socialized than men would be accepted by most here.

I don't see how a higher propensity for obese women to prove vulnerable to muslim conversion would somehow invalidate what I said.

Maybe you can make it clearer for me.

Oh! You are saying that a fat white man who went around in muslim garb would LOWER his dating chances with women? Or just with you?

Hmm.....well, if it's the former, yes, that seems reasonable to me.

1. Because I hadn't read it.

2. Now that I have, also because I don't accept it, and at the very least haven't seen any evidence of such, and therefore couldn't justify making a comment like his. I don't think either are acceptable.

By the way, I've gone for girls who weren't considered pretty or trim. I found them to be kind, sweet people.
